Pumpkin Bars

Because Fall is almost here, officially, and because they are so yummy here is one of my favorite recipes:
Pumpkin Bars
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 beaten eggs
1 16 oz. can pumpkin
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup oil

Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, soda, and salt. Combine eggs, pumpkin, sugar and oil; beat till combined. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture. Beat till well blended. Spread batter in an ungreased 15x10x1" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool Frost with cream cheese frosting. Cut into bars.

Cream Cheese Frosting

3 oz. pkg cream cheese
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla 2 cups powdered sugar

Beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla till light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.

Looks good. I was planning on bringing a treat to my sis in law who just had a baby and my bro said she liked pumpkin bread. Maybe I will try this out.
